ordinary window easement, quickly; and easily without injury to the same. 7

Another object lofv the invention is to pro-` its full outwardly swung position when'man'- ually moved toward said position.'

A further ob'ect is to provide means autor' matieally operable serving to hold the-device in itsinwardly swung position.`

A Referringv to the ndrawing, the numeral 1 Fig.r1,"designates awindo'w of the'ordinary construction, provided withfthe'usual: upper sash, 2, andlower sash, 3. "iSecured'tO the windowframe with two screws, 4 and 4'isw the 65 bracket, 5, which is best illustrated. Yin Fig. 4, consisting of a flat oblong plate having cast,

" or. otherwise suitably fastened thereon, three lugs',v 6, 7 and 8, vthe above mentioned bracket,

5j is secured to the window yframe.v 1,jin'such 70 a manner 'that the guide pulley, 9,' is slightly below the bottom of thetwo'sash 2y and 3,A when both are raised to their full height, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

Thisl arrangementjof the bracket 5,*allows afreefswing throughgthe oplenuwindow of the supporting arm`10, which will be morefully hereinafter described. v l

The 4supperting arm 1 ()"Fig, 11|, above referredto consists' of a' flatrod having at the 30 free end afpulley 11, andat thelother end two'. pivoting llvig's,` 12 and 12. `These twoV lugs are supplied with suitable pin holes n to enable thesupporting arm 10, to be pivoted upon the bracket '5,' at 7' and 8 by the pin 13 as clearly 85 i l Shown in, rial. e y

vThe pivot ,pin 13S extends through all three of the lugs 6, 7 and 8 and constitutes'A acommonsupport for. the pulley 9 Vbetween lugs i f Gand 7 and for arm 10 between lugs 'I and 8. 9
